The full age of retirement for social security is now almost age 67. Why should state employees' pensions be reduced at age 65? It makes no sense. Please fix this inequity by passing this bill. Thank you.

It's about fairness. Reducing pension benefits was designed to take into account SS benefits. Now that SS benefits are further away, that reduction simply takes money away from the economy. The NHRS's benefits have a positive impact on the state's economy. For example, in 2020, every dollar of pension paid to a New Hampshire resident generated $1.70 in local economic output. Let's pass this to be fair to retirees and to our economy.
